Given the seriousness and depravity of the crimes in the Epstein Docs... [View all]

In comparison to the general level of outrage I am seeing across the M$M, social media platforms, and even here on DU -- it's like tRump was caught jaywalking across Pennsylvania Avenue or something.

Call me old fashioned, but I remember the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal and the Thomas/Hill scandals that dominated the front pages of the M$M for weeks at a time. It was the leading story on every newscast. The Christian Right was writhing in agony over the sins of Bill Clinton non-stop for weeks, months, and years following it. It was all FOX news could talk about.

These allegations are so, so, so, SO much more heinous and serious, and it seems like nary a peep is being said. Is pedophilia, rape, sex trafficking, murder, cannibalism OK now??? When did I miss that this was the new "norm"???

WHAT. THE. FUCK???
